Now that the dust has settled from the 2017 NBA Trade Deadline, it’s time to see where everyone stands. Here are trade deadline grades for all 30 teams.
The highly anticipated 2017 NBA Trade Deadline has come and gone. From the ashes and the rubble, it’s time to pick up the pieces and figure out what the NBA landscape looks like moving into the home stretch of the 2016-17 NBA season.
A Golden State Warriors rematch with the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Finals felt inevitable before the season, and while that’s still the most likely result, this week saw teams like the Houston Rockets, Toronto Raptors and Washington Wizards all bolster their rosters to give them a greater challenge at the top of the NBA ladder.
Though the San Antonio Spurs and Boston Celtics stood pat at this year’s deadline, they too will try to make things more interesting come playoff time.
The question is, which teams best addressed their needs at this year’s deadline? Which teams are the biggest winners and losers? Who landed the best trade of the week and which teams totally failed but not making a move at all?
We’ve already covered individual trade grades for every deal, but now it’s time to take a look at the bigger picture for each squad. To make sense of all of this week’s action — and non-action, for some — here’s a look at 2017 NBA Trade Deadline grades for all 30 teams in the association.
